The elbow is the second most commonly dislocated major joint in the adult age group and the most commonly dislocated major joint in the pediatric population. The mechanism of injury and resultant ligamentous disruption pattern have been investigated and noted. Classification of elbow dislocation is well described, and allows for appropriate treatment and rehabilitation. For stable reductions, an aggressive early ROM protocol emphasizing active motion has been helpful for maximizing final range of motion and minimizing extension loss. Associated injuries with elbow dislocation are common and can result in significant morbidity if not diagnosed and treated.
